PHILADELPHIA — The schedule for the 76ers’ season is about to turn to its final month, assuming a playoff run isn’t in the offing for them.

To be clear, the Sixers need either divine intervention or Allen Iverson in his prime to make a run at the postseason. Iverson was in the building Saturday night. He wasn’t of much help to the Sixers, though.

Jrue Holiday threw down a pair of dunks on consecutive buckets, triggering a fourth-quarter spurt that led the Sixers to a 100-92 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Holiday, who finished with 14 points and nine assists, got the Sixers going on their run. He hit four straight buckets in a four-minute span and scored all but three of his points in the fourth. Damien Wilkins’ fastbreak slam with 33.9 seconds to go sealed it.

The Sixers (30-43) stretched their winning streak to three games, matching their longest of the season. It’s the fifth time they’ve won three in a row, and their first since a trio of victories from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.

Having won seven of their last 11, the Sixers remain (mathematically) in the postseason hunt. Chasing down eighth-place Milwaukee, the Sixers used their win over Charlotte to cut their deficit in the chase for the Eastern Conference’s final berth to seven games with nine to play.

Attaining a playoff spot is not likely. It’s still possible, however.

At this stage of the season, the Sixers have to pull out all the stops in an attempt to make the postseason. That includes calling up Iverson for a little pregame reminiscing session.

Tapped by ownership to walk the game ball to center court following player introductions, Iverson — the 2001 NBA MVP and 11-time All-Star — drew heavy cheers from the crowd. He went into his bag of tricks and pulled out the old cup-his-hand-to-his-ear move, all while wearing a retro Phillies track jacket and hat along with dark sunglasses.

Iverson, who granted only a TV interview, told Comcast SportsNet that he met his return to Philadelphia, where he spent 11-plus seasons, with great anticipation. He even contemplated whether his career is over.

“I put it in God’s hands,” Iverson told CSN. “If this is the end, I’m fine with it.”

The Sixers weren’t fine with their winning streak coming to a close, even if their play at the start of the game didn’t seem to indicate it. They might tote one of the league’s worst records, but the Bobcats sure didn’t play like one of the worst clubs — especially in the first quarter.

Charlotte spent the final minutes of the first assembling a 16-3 run. That spurt opened its largest lead of the game, a 13-point gap that produced a 30-17 lead for the Bobcats.

That wasn’t going to keep the Sixers from roaring back. They opened the second quarter with a 16-3 run that matched Charlotte’s, evening the score at 33-all. Young hit three shots in the last five minutes of the half to send the Sixers into the locker room with a 49-46 lead.

Young shot 6-for-7 in the first half, pairing 13 points with eight rebounds.

The teams kept it mostly level through three, with a Jannero Pargo bucket as time expired helping the Bobcats cut the Sixers’ lead to 73-71. That’s where everything remained, back and forth, through the first seven minutes of the fourth.

It wasn’t until Holiday ripped through the lane on one possession and cut baseline on another, throwing down a pair of fourth-quarter dunks, that the Sixers were able to pull away. After the second slam, Holiday stood under the Sixers’ basket and beat his chest once with his right hand. Charlotte’s Josh McRoberts took offense to that brand of pandering, and issued an elbow to Holiday’s back as he walked up the floor.

That made no difference to Holiday, who coolly deposited a midrange jumper two trips later to create even more cushion for the Sixers.
